9M317 missiles have much shorter wing chord than 9M38M1: drawing, photo. Which do you see on the video of the TELAR (minus one missile) evacuated back to Russia through Lugansk towards Krasnodon?

As far as I heard, 9M38M1 missiles also contain 9N314 warhead with three types of fragments, one of them shaped like hourglass or butterfly or I-beam (двутавр): photo 1 photo 2. History of design of 9M38M1 and 9N314 and I-beam (двутавр) shaped fragments: (in Russian).

Quite probably, the TELAR was indeed from Buk-M1-2 system. But loaded with 9M38M1 missiles.
